When it comes to safeguarding your home or business from the devastating forces of a storm, the right hurricane screen protection can make all the difference. At Armor Screen, we understand that every property is unique, which is why we offer a comprehensive line of hurricane screen systems tailored to your specific needs. With over two decades of global experience and Miami-Dade HVHZ (High Velocity Hurricane Zone) approval, our solutions deliver unmatched performance and peace of mind.
We take pride in delivering protection that doesn’t compromise aesthetics or usability. From our fully automated Roll Up System to the simple, rugged Buckle & Strap System, each of our designs prioritizes strength, transparency, and ease of deployment. Whether you’re securing a beachfront condo or a sprawling commercial building, Armor Screen is here to help you choose the ideal hurricane screen protection for your space.
Understanding the Key Considerations
Choosing the right hurricane screen protection system involves more than just picking a product off the shelf. It’s about understanding how your property functions, what kind of access is available during a storm event, and what level of visual and architectural impact you’re willing to accept.
Property Type
Residential properties, such as single-family homes, townhomes, or high-rise condos, have different needs than commercial buildings with wide glass expanses or multiple entry points. Our systems are adaptable to both.
Accessibility
Do you need to deploy your screens from the ground, or will you be managing upper-floor windows and doors? Consider whether ladder access is practical, or if a system you can control remotely or deploy from indoors is more suitable.
Design and Visibility Preferences
Many customers want hurricane protection that doesn’t feel like prison bars. Armor Screen’s transparent fabrics preserve natural light and sightlines while delivering robust wind and debris resistance.
Budget and Usability
While all our systems are designed for durability, ease of use, and cost-effectiveness, your budget and frequency of deployment (seasonal vs. permanent) may steer you toward a particular model.
The Four Armor Screen Systems Explained
At Armor Screen, we’ve developed four flagship systems, each engineered to deliver top-tier hurricane screen protection while accommodating a range of user needs and property types.
Roll Up System
Our most advanced and user-friendly option, the Roll Up System is designed for seamless integration into modern homes and businesses. With remote control and WiFi compatibility, it can be deployed at the touch of a button—even from your smartphone. This system isn’t just for hurricane season; its UV-stabilized fabric offers year-round sun, wind, and rain protection. The Roll Up System is perfect for homeowners who want the best of automation, safety, and everyday usability.
Buckle & Strap System
The original Armor Screen solution that launched an industry, the Buckle & Strap System remains our most versatile offering. It can span extremely large areas with ease, making it ideal for non-standard or oversized openings. This system is lightweight yet incredibly strong, offering unmatched performance during Category 5 storms. It’s especially suited for custom projects, irregular openings, and properties requiring maximum flexibility in deployment.
I-Beam Track System
Ideal for properties with patios, loggias, and high-rise balconies, the I-Beam Track System combines the strength of our Buckle & Strap setup with the ease of a curtain-like sliding mechanism. It eliminates the need for ladders and can be deployed quickly and safely from ground level. This system is perfect for condominiums or any situation where space is limited but hurricane screen protection is critical.
Hemcord System
Designed for upper-floor windows and difficult-to-reach areas, the Hemcord System allows for indoor deployment. Simply open your window and feed the screen into pre-installed exterior tracks. Lightweight, transparent, and highly effective, this system offers a practical solution for homeowners who want hurricane protection without climbing a ladder. It’s an ideal choice for retirees or those with mobility limitations.
Matching the Right System to Your Needs
Selecting the right hurricane screen protection doesn’t have to be overwhelming. At Armor Screen, we’ve tailored our recommendations to help homeowners and business owners alike identify the most effective solution for their needs:
- Ideal for Store Front Hurricane Protection
The Buckle & Strap System offers rapid deployment, wide-span coverage up to 24 feet, and proven durability—making it the trusted choice for retail stores, banks, boutiques, and hospitality venues.
- Perfect for Balcony and Patio Spaces
For patios or high-rise balconies, the I-Beam Track System provides smooth, curtain-like deployment without the need for ladders. In some patio cases, the Buckle & Strap may also be appropriate, depending on layout.
- Recommended for Seniors or Multi-Story Homes
The Hemcord System allows for easy indoor deployment, eliminating the need to climb ladders during storm preparation.
- Versatile Whole-House Hurricane Protection
Many homeowners find that a combination of the Roll Up and Buckle & Strap Systems offers the best full-home coverage, balancing aesthetics, strength, and ease of use.
